Description:
sale pending david p - 8-26-21- 10 day hold THIS SPRINGFIELD TRAPDOOR CADET RIFLE IS CARTOUCHED 1890 ON THE STOCK. IT IS SERIAL # 492787 AND HAS AN 1884 LOCK DATE. GUN-DATA/SPRINGFIELD_TRAPDOORS SHOWS 2500 CADET MADE IN 1890 AND IT IS IN THE CORRECT SERIAL NUMBER RANGE. IT IS IN EXCELLENT MECHANICAL CONDITION. THE BORE HAS SOME SCATTERED LIGHT PITTING NEAR THE MUZLLE AND IMPROVES TO SHINY TOWARDS THE BREECH SO IT SHOULD SHOOT VERY WELL. THE FRONT BARREL BAND AND CLEANING ROD APPEAR TO BE VINTAGE REPLACEMENTS AS THEY SHOW WEAR WITH MORE BLUEING THAN THE REST OF THE RIFLE AND AND THE ROD IS TIGHT. WHEN THE ROD IS REMOVED, THE BARREL BAND IS A LITTLE LOOSER. THE BLUEING HAS WORN OFF OR GONE BROWN EXCEPT ON THE UNDER SIDE OF BARREL IN THE STOCK GROOVE WHERE IT IS STILL GOOD. IT HAS A VINTAGE SIGHT HOOD THAT LOOKS NEWER THAN THE RIFLE AS IT ALSO RETAINS MORE BLUEING. THE REAR SIGHT IS A BUFFINGTON WHICH FOLDS DOWN AND HAS A SCREW LOCKABLE LADDER GRADUATED TO AN OPTIMISTIC 1400 YARDS IN THE UP POSITION. IT IS ALSO SCREW ADJUSTABLE FOR WINDAGE. THE STOCK IS LACKING THE USUAL MAJOR DINGS SHOWING LIGHT WEAR, SCRATCHES AND MINOR DINGS. THE BUTT PLATE IS STAMPED U.S.
